App does not work

I love ready American bee journal, this app has not been reliable. The app has not been able to load the magazine in a few months. I ended up paying for the subscription and reading the magazine directly on their website.

Has not been updated in 7 years

Does not work with current operating systems. Will not start. Should either be taken off of App Store or updated.

It’s too bad as ABJ is an awesome publication.

American bee journal

I only gave it a 1 because that is the lowest! Downloaded the app and have been trying to fill out the form for access to subscription, but it won’t allow me to put in the country(USA) or my state(GA)! Very disappointing.

Ignore the old reviews

I love this app. I have had problems zooming in on my laptop but on my phone app, zooming in is intuitive & works great!

Needs an update

This app is cludgy. Needs to be updated to improve performance on iPad devices.

Great on iPad

Sooo much better with iPad. Can zoom in easily, for older eyes. read and jump to other pages or sites. Thanks for update.

Even one star is too much

I can only agree with the previous review. Worst app ever. I hope it was a DIY and not something they paid for.
My suggestion, let a professional handle this or take the app of the App Store.

App abandoned.

Last update Feb. 2016. There is no support. The App fully deserves the 1.0 overall rating.

App is slower than honey in January

Come on people! This app is so slow as to be unusable

Wish I Could give zero stars

Words can't explain how slow, failure to load, inability to carry my subscription over different devices. This app is a headache.

How NOT to publish a great magazine

This is the most disappointing app I’ve ever downloaded from the App Store, and that’s saying a lot. It’s a pity, because the content in ABJ is superior. As much as I’d like to read ABJ digitally, I’m going to have to continue borrowing my neighbor’s paper copies until Dadant realizes its mistake.

Buggy and unusable

I can't get past the registration step it's so buggy. Keeps telling me fields are blank even though I have entered them and the register overlay screen gets bumped offscreen when the keyboard comes up and doesn't come back down. It's basically unusable

Possibly one of the worst iPad apps ever

The only good thing about this app is the content. If it ever loads.

Piece of garbage

This complete farce of an app deserves a minus 10 rating. Please remove it from the App Store.

Won't work

Can't get app to load mag. Very very very very sloooooooooow. I fell asleep waiting for the app just to load. Please fix it I get the hard copy and it's GREAT!

Great magazine, terrible app

The content is great, but the app is the most frustrating app I have ever seen. Please fix it, ABJ!

Terrible app supporting a great magazine

Sloooooow to load. Worse yet, once you've loaded the issue you must stay active in the app. If you walk away to get coffee or take a call you must again reload the issue which gives ample time to get more coffee and make a sandwich.
The articles excellent and the app works fine once an issue is loaded.
Publisher Dadant needs to up their game and spring for better software and delivery.

Useless App

Can't log in, can't get downloads, still takes your money. Too bad as the online articles are great. No response from app maker.

Ditto -please fix!

Please fix this app! I love the American Bee Journal

Will not load
Don't waist your time or money
One star is too many
